Words that Tugged at My Heartstrings

“Not everyone has a sob story, Charlie, and even if they do, it’s no excuse.” ~ Charlie’s Dad

“I just think it’s bad when a boy looks at a girl & thinks that the way he sees the girl is better than the girl actually is.” ~ Charlie

“I feel great! I really mean it. I have to remember this for the next time I’m having a terrible week.” ~ Charlie

“She really did look sad, and I wished I could have made her feel better, but sometimes, I guess you just can’t.” ~ Charlie (on Sam)

“But because things change. And friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody.” ~ Charlie

“every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people ‘participate.’” ~ Charlie

“I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.” ~ Charlie

“And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have.” ~ Charlie

“Please believe that things are good with me, and even when they’re not, they will be soon enough.” ~ Charlie
